This seller on Ebay keeps listing all these rad Wild Angels shots so I'm trying to catalog the good ones for everybody. If you want to see the others previously posted just type in "wild angels" under the search box in the upper left hand corner!

I can't believe I didn't know who Tony Nancy was back when I saw the famous seahorse insignia on Scott Craig's "Skaliwag;" but the old Hot Rod magazines brought me up to speed on the late drag race legend and master uphulsterer. Anyway, when I was flipping through a Big Bike Magazine Gabe gave me (thanks Gabe) I saw the seat and had to post it! That seahorse logo inside the diamond and topped off with the crown is simply amazing!

I can't say I'm a big fan of the back half of this bike but I love the narrowed trees used on this wideglide as well as that axed tank! I think a name like the "Knuckle Sandwich" would have better suited that tank though! (from the same magazine as above)

This 45 trike definitely looks the part, even with a small 18" x 2.75" front tire and the 10" U.S. Indy Mags with what almost looks like wrinkle wall cheater slicks. I even like the chair! (from a 1970 Bike Bike Magazine)

Check out these awesome shots of Mert from 1966. I am not familiar with the type of Harley he's using here but I like the leather jacket with business slacks and loafers combo, not to mention that Bell Helmet, Star maybe? (These great photos are currently on Ebay!)

Man, would I ever love to find one of these helmets as I'm sure seems more protective than the 3/4 helmets out there and still looks cool!

The Mooneyes Show in Japan is one of the biggest around, not only for custom cars but custom bikes as well. This year's show proves to be no less with a couple of my personal favorite bikes from Oakland to Santa Ana, CA. Check out the link at:http://www.mooneyes.co.jp/hcs08/entry/guest.html

How cool would this be, a Saturday outing to the local drag strip with your family loaded into the Econoline Van with your dual motor Yamaha 1/4 mile machine? Too bad local dragstrips are a thing of the past!

All the above photos are from an insane book of old race photos that are unfortunately up to like $950 or so on Ebay but the guy luckily took these great detailed pictures for us guys who can't afford the thousand dollar album! Enjoy!
